“Good evening, Evelyn.” Ella grabbed her lower back struggling to stand from the chair. “I was just about to lie down for the night.”
“This won’t take long,” I said as I eyed her huge belly.
“My feet are killing me,” Ella said, waddling to her bed and rolling on top of it. She was the tiniest girl. Five feet three inches and without pregnancy would have weighed ninety pounds. Her belly took over everything. She looked pregnant from her shoulders down to her knees. I could imagine her foot pain had to be moderately severe with all the extra weight.
“They don’t appear to be swollen,” I responded as I checked each one.
“Nothing is,” she sighed. “This carrier gene makes pregnancy easy. If I didn’t have to bear so much weight and the babies didn’t constantly play tag with each other in there, I wouldn’t even know I was pregnant.” I smiled. “Just you wait. You’ll see.” This made me drop the smile. I had no intentions on finding out while I was stuck in this place. But if I did conceive before we dismantled the system, Mother Country would have to kill me before they reached my babies. Fortunately, we rescued Ella before they could get hers. …show more content…
Charles, me, and another carrier, Sherman Stackmeyer. We all had extensive medical knowledge; otherwise, Charles would only know her location. The children in her belly were that valuable.
“Do you have names picked out yet?” I asked trying to steer the conversation away from my ovaries. Ella gave me the biggest smile I had yet to see from her since her dissenter call so many months

“You would not believe who is here right now. Come out.” How could I possibly have ended up in this situation? When my friends decided we’d have one last summer adventure to remember for the night, I never considered that I would be stranded in a dressing room at Salvation Army, desperately hiding with a pair of horrifically patterned skinny jeans that squeezed way too tight. There is no plausible reason why I’m still trying to pull these double-zero atrocities onto my shaking legs. My entire body…

*WOOSH!* The intense cold breeze blew hard against us, nearly knocking my friend, Tyler, over. We walked down the stone streets of Quebec, heading to a close-by store. For the first time on this trip, we were on our own, completely responsible for our own safety and well-being. Not too long before this, back at our hotel, we were getting ready to leave as our teacher, Mrs. Thomas, was telling us what we would be doing. “Okay everyone, for the next four hours, you can do whatever you want, anything…

Naturally when they finally had a plan in place fate decides to throw a wrench in things, and force them to work even harder to be free from her father’s far reaching influence. It would have been nerve-wracking enough to meet up with Adam Levine somewhere in the city to exchange the photos for the video evidence, let alone adding the extra challenge of now having to fly to meet him. Lexi wasn’t particularly confident in her ability to pull through this new challenge without any problems, but she…

Ciara spent the rest of the day trying to figure a way to be free from Deaglan. It then dawned on her; she would have to do more than just show appreciation and pretend to have interest in him. She figured that she would have to do favors for him and bring him presents. Then, once he trusted her and let his guard down, she could make her escape. She was not a very creative person, but she knew how to follow directions and recipes. She figured that she could bake him something as a gift. Ciara…

I walked into the store and within 60 seconds Mary Ellen gracefully could see that we were needing assistance since I was already in the middle of the store. She was very calm, nice, and from how she spoke I could tell she knew what she was talking about. I explained I needed a sofa for my short old grandma who was in need of a new sofa because her recliner is too hard for her to use now. I also explained I was here to buy on behalf of my grandfather who was also very old. She offered a power type…

Nolan Blackwood had been a queasy kid for as long as he could remember. In fact, when he was six years old he’d broken his nose and had nightmares for at least two years about the blood pouring from his nostrils. Despite this, he loved to help people. Medicine fascinated him, and how the body reacted to it fascinated him even more. Everything in his mind rejected the idea of seeing blood, touching blood, but his strong morals definitely beat the fear out. So here he was, his first day as an official…

I close the door behind myself without taking my eyes off him. He gestures toward his bed. “Sit.” I cross the room and drop everything in my arms onto my open backpack before taking a seat. From this angle, I notice something hidden in his lap. I can make out an envelope, but the second item is purposefully concealed from my sight by one hand. I brush my hair over one shoulder and fold my hands in my lap. If he’s going to play coy, I may as well join in. “About what you said last night,” I prompt…

As I wake up and plant my feet on the cold wooden floor, the smell of daisies and daffodils fills the air. I'm so grateful for the abundance of flowers arranged around my studio apartment. Without them, the place would reek of sewer rats and dump trucks. It is highly questionable why my roommates and I chose to live in such a smelly place, but there is no place we would rather be. Although at times it gets crowded with three of us living in a small apartment in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, it…

Last year, my husband Joseph planted our crops like any other season, but this season was different. The townspeople were angry with our unfair prices and burnt our barn and all of our money’s worth of crops. We were broke and didn’t even have enough money or food to feed our kids. Joseph decided to take me and our family to Oregon. We told William first, because he’s our oldest son. He was very excited to go to the new land and travel across an ocean for the first time. Of course we all are because…

I wake up, all ready to go, I get out of bed and look out the window. The sun yawns as it rises over the houses, I hear the SQUEAL of little mouses. I stretch real big before I leave, I can’t believe it’s not Christmas eve. I exit the room in my new golf clothes, I walk so silently, no one knows. As I reach the bottom of the brown stairs, I hear my stomach ROAR like a bear. I walk to the kitchen and smell the ‘cakes, I see my dad making green veggie shakes. I sit down to eat my burning hot meal…
